Like the weakness of science is prostitution. Not for math or humanities, but for science it's huge. Purdue Pharma is famous for its prostitutions, their biggest exploit was the majority of the guilt and blame for the opioid epidemic. That was carried out by several prostitutions carried out carefully and with great expertise, beginning with getting the FDA to agree that their opioid lasted twice as much as it actually did. The trick there is never to say twice or more, you can't overdo it, you actually have to promise almost twice as much as you deliver, 12 instead of 7, not 12 instead of 5. Scientists can't just make numbers up, well they can and do, but there's limits: no getting caught, can't double anything, can't look stupid on television. The second prostitution was sending their hot pharma rep sales team out to "refocus" the doctors on the 12 hour schedule for their drug, despite literally all of their patients saying it never lasted anywhere near that long. In this case I'm saying they got the doctors to believe "science" that were more made-up numbers pulled out of thin air. There were other prostitutions, like with the lawyers that defended them in court, and the nonprofits who sucked up to them publicly for their gifts of ill-gotten gains.
And those pharma sales reps...surely they never actually sleep with the doctors? They just get super hot women for that job just to improve doctor's reading comprehension, like a hot teacher in a middle school, that'll learn those boys real good, surely. [Note: I know you're meant to say it differently, I'm being colloquial]

- 0des 5y agoAre you okay? Can't tell if this is AI or someone with lots of pictures on the wall all tied together with string and newspaper clippings and the word "prostituting" captioned on them.
- kgwxd 5y agoThe profile says it's not AI. Sounds like something AI would say.
- wanderer_ 5y ago"I intend to notarize my account" ?
- daniel-cussen 5y agoI'll check out how to do that right now, thanks for bringing that up.
- archerx 5y agoHe's from Chile and I think he is directly translating his local idioms into English. Basically what he is saying is "science" immediately goes out the window when big money is involved, that most people will sell out their morals for money. If you would like to know more I recommend you check this out; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackler_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackler_family
- 0des 5y agoThanks for the reply, even with context his comment is just odd. I've been a Spanish speaker all my life and that does not resemble translated text, that resembles coffee, cigarettes and the "real story" of what happened to JFK and Jimmy Hoffa.
- daniel-cussen 5y agoI speak native English. I'm taking liberties with my words. Am I OK? And you called me a bot? Are you a bot?
- 0des 5y agoSee? Told you guys. Coffee and cigarettes.
- daniel-cussen 5y agoCoffee and cigarettes? Clearly you're dissing me, but I have no complaints, I'm turning the other cheek on that. I just want to know what you mean by coffee and cigarettes. Explain the idiom.
- daniel-cussen 5y ago> Are you okay? You don't actually care if I'm OK. Unless we've met perhaps, what's your name? My name is Daniel Cussen. Have we met?
- vaidhy 5y agoIt looks like you typed in Spanish and did google translate on this (given you are talking about Chile). The translation output does not make a lot of sense. I think you meant "immoral marketing techniques" while the translation says prostitution. Looks like it is a Chilean idiom that does not translate well.
- daniel-cussen 5y agoHaha, it's not a Chilean idiom. No google translate. The dowsing rod thing I was talking about Chile, but the rest was about mostly America. Get real, medicine is a matter of life and death. Multilevel marketing is harmless if you're selling handicrafts, yeah then it's an immoral marketing technique. In medicine immoral marketing technique are prostitutions. Plural. Not an abstract noun, several counts of the transgression. Like in Dr. Seuss, "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish": One prostitution, two prostitutions... And if google translate turns "técnicas inmorales de márketing" into "prostitution", general Artificial Intelligence is here. And don't think your English is that amazing, vaidhy.

- wanderer_ 5y agoWell, here's this: prostitution (noun): 1. ... 2. the unworthy or corrupt use of one's talents for personal or financial gain. (credit: oxford dictionary of English) I am somewhat surprised that someone did not think to look for an archaic or disused definition already...

- BoxOfRain 5y agoI wonder if it's a bad machine translation of 'in bed with' or a similar idiom for corruption, as in 'the government is in bed with the oil industry when it comes to environmental policy'?
